Joomla! iNetLanka Multiple map Component "controller" File Inclusion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39530

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39530/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the iNetLanka Multiple map
component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to
disclose potentially sensitive information.

Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_multimap") is not properly verified before
being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal
sequences and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
